This is a good and necessary start. We are under attack by a global fascist insurgency.

The problem with creeping fascism is that everyone always likes to think of it as some grassroots movement of dedicated followers. No one ever looks into, investigates or tries to find the source of money and finance these movements receive or gather from wealthy supporters or contributors.
No matter what any one says ... it takes money and funds to create a group ... it takes more money to manage it on a regular basis ... and it takes lots of money to maintain it and keep it cohesive.
I'm Indigenous and I have my own issues and groups I like to support and advocate for and work for ... we have hundreds and sometimes thousands of dedicated supporters ... but we can never get anything done or gain any influence ... you know why? ... we have no money, no funders, no supporters and we are constantly struggling to even just feed ourselves. If we had the same amount of funding as some of these neo-nazi groups, we'd be doing a lot more to help our communities.
Look for the source of the problem ... look for where the money is coming from ... that is the root of the problem ... the young people that are being arrested, causing violence or leading the parade of vocal angry extremists are only just the tip of the iceberg of a larger more heavily funded organization.
